If we were bidding for him as a UFA with a full season ahead of the team I would say no way. However considering his cap impact is minimal, its a shortened season, and you can put him on the third line with Sutter and give him some PP time, then I say its a possibility depending on what you have to give up in the deal.

It won't happen because their will be enough suitors to not force the 2 parties to consider it.

But this is the type of player we should look to pick up - short term and not worth a big asset. So even though its a dead end, it still has more life than any of the other trade scenarios floating around lgp.
